The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Lake Charles Mun, LA (KLCH), launched 12:00Z, 8.0 hours before the alert went out and 32 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

.UPDATE...THE PREVIOUS FORECAST REMAINS ON TARGET AND NO MAJOR
CHANGES ARE NEEDED THIS MORNING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 656 AM CDT WED JUN 6 2012/

AVIATION...
EARLY MORNING CONVECTION ACRS CNTL LA HAS DISSIPATED LEAVING A
RESIDUAL LAYER OF HIGH CLOUDS...ACCOMPANIED BY A FEW LOW CLOUDS
ACRS CNTL AND SRN LA. IN ADDITION...SOME PATCHY FOG HAS DEVELOPED
RESULTING IN CONDITIONS THAT ARE VARYING MOSTLY BETWEEN VFR/MVFR
ALTHOUGH OCCASIONAL IFR VISBYS HAVE AFFECTED BPT AND ARA THIS
MORNING. CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO IMPROVE TO PREVAILING VFR ACRS
THE AREA BY 14Z WITH LT AND VRBL WINDS AS A WEAK FRONT OVER CNTL
LA/E TX SAGS SLOWLY SOUTH TODAY. BY AFTN...EXPECT TO SEE A FEW
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POP UP...WITH THE BEST CHANCES EXPECTED
DURING LATE AFTN PEAK HEATING SO INCLUDED TEMPO GROUPS FROM 20-24Z
FOR THE SRN TAF SITES. CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH DURING THE
EVENING.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 413 AM CDT WED JUN 6 2012/

DISCUSSION...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STILL HANGING AROUND ACROSS EAST CENTRAL
LOUISIANA WITH A VERY WARM AND MOIST ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE...AND LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE PROVIDED BY WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY IN THAT AREA
AND CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BEGIN TO
WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE AS WE NEAR SUNRISE.

LATER TODAY...SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTHWEST AS
MID LEVEL WIND FLOW WILL BE FROM THE NORTHEAST. MEANWHILE...WEAKNESS
IN THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED.
THROW IN A MOIST ATMOSPHERE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
EXPECTED TO BE OVER 1.75 INCHES...AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY AFTERNOON WITH DAYTIME
HEATING. A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION...ESPECIALLY
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON...WHEN CAPE VALUES AND INSTABILITY WILL
BE AT ITS GREATEST...AND LATE IN THE DAY SEA BREEZE WILL TRY TO
PUSH INLAND AND COLLIDE WITH SOUTHWESTWARD MOVING SURFACE
BOUNDARY. ISOLATED STRONG DOWN-BURST WINDS...HAIL...FREQUENT
LIGHTNING WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN. ALSO...WITH THE HIGH MOISTURE
CONTENT AND SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS...SOME ISOLATED HEAVY
RAINFALL AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR...WITH THE BEST CHANCE TO SEE THIS
ACTIVITY ALONG THE I-10 CORRIDOR AND SNAKING UP INTO THE PINEY
WOODS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS. ACTIVITY WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN DURING THE
EVENING HOURS.

SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL STALL ALONG THE COAST ON THURSDAY...THEN
SLOWLY DISSIPATE. HOWEVER...WEAKNESS IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS
WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH A
VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE. THEREFORE...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE EACH DAY...WITH THE BEST CHANCE DURING
THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WHEN INSTABILITY WILL BE AT ITS BEST...AND
SEA BREEZE WILL TRY TO ADVANCE INLAND.

EARLY NEXT WEEK...WEAKNESS BEGINS TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST WITH
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BEGINNING TO PUSH IN FROM THE WEST. THIS
SHOULD HELP CONVECTION BE MORE ISOLATED IN NATURE.

RUA

MARINE...
A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHWEST TODAY AND
TONIGHT AND STALL ALONG THE COAST. LIGHT EAST WINDS MAY OCCUR ON
THURSDAY BEFORE THE BOUNDARY DISSIPATES. CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES MOVING AWAY FROM THE BOUNDARY MAY ALSO PROVIDE BRIEF
OFFSHORE WINDS WITH HIGHER WIND SPEEDS AND LOCALLY HIGHER SEAS
THROUGH THURSDAY.

THE BOUNDARY WILL DISSIPATE BY FRIDAY...WITH LIGHT SOUTHEAST WINDS
DEVELOPING AS HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE RIDGES ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR
THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS NEAR THE STORMS.

LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
INCREASE...ALONG WITH AN INCREASE IN SEAS...AS LOW PRESSURE FORMS
OVER THE PLAINS. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BECOME
MORE ISOLATED IN NATURE AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BEGINS TO REFORM
ABOVE THE COASTAL WATERS.
